# Core Test Stats for WordPress 6.0

This post attempts to summarize testing activities for WordPress 6.0. As currently
there’s no established process for tracking testing activities within GutenbergGutenberg
The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves
the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content 
much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML
etc. [https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/), the following
stats are only from TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues 
for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/).
tickets.

Please note, this summary is not a complete account of testing activities, but rather
a gathering of what can be tracked within Trac.

## Stats

There were [234 Trac tickets closed in 6.0](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&focuses=!coding-standards&focuses=!docs&focuses=!ui-copy&milestone=6.0&group=component&col=id&col=summary&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&col=keywords&order=priority),
excluding copy or docs only tickets.

Of these tickets:

 * 5% (11 tickets) have [testing instructions](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&keywords=~has-testing-info&milestone=6.0&group=component&col=id&col=summary&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&order=priority)
 * 28% (66 tickets) have [automated tests](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&keywords=~has-unit-tests&milestone=6.0&group=component&col=id&col=summary&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&order=priority)
 * 8% (18 tickets) have [one or more test report(s)](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?id=55167%2C48896%2C55580%2C25615%2C55297%2C55793%2C35500%2C28277%2C37750%2C39108%2C55158%2C55678%2C55575%2C55367%2C54840%2C54188%2C55682%2C53177&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&order=priority)

## Data Gathering Process

This section shares how the data was gathered for the stats.

 * Tickets with testing instructions were identified using the Trac keyword `has-
   testing-info`. This keyword is manually added during triage when step-by-step
   instructions (written or video / gif) are present within the ticket.
    - Disclaimer: Other tickets may have instructions, but were not flagged with
      the keyword.
 * Tickets with automated tests (PHPUnit, integration, and e2e tests) were identified
   using Trac’s `has-unit-tests` keyword.
 * Test Reports were gathered by manually scanning each closed 6.0 Trac ticket for
   the phrase `Test Report` and then verifying the presence of an actual test report.
    - Disclaimer: Some tickets may have a non-formal test report such as sharing
      a gif or screenshot to show before and after state / behavior.

 3. Observations: Testing activities often happen within a ticket but without formal
    testing cues. For example, testing instructions and/or results are shared through
    supplemental artifacts like screenshot, gif, or video.
 4. To track these would require manually scanning each ticket.
 5. This is an opportunity. How so? During test triage sessions, testers do the manual
    review/scan and then add or update the keyword(s) and/or add any missing written
    testing instructions and report(s).
